My mate has a 57 plate with 195,000 on the clock! He's not a member of this forum, and is not mechanically minded, in fact I doubt if he has ever put windscreen washer water in! He has a L405 on order which comes in February so it will have well over 200,000 on it when it comes up for sale.

Cheers ive had it since 130k always serviced on time and never let any jobs go too long before fixing. but it works hard for a living as it should. I think the huge thing over here is the weather,they never get cold and there isnt a spot of rust anywhere. also I worked for scania for 20 odd years and in the uk if a truck got to 250k without dropping the sump you were doing well, over here if you drop the sump before a million klm's theres something wrong. Even then its only wear and tear, everything is wearing nicely and some shells as a preventative measure gets another million. best thing nothing ever seizes my knuckles actually look quit good LOL 03 TD6 vogue....Epsom, very nice 03 TD6 se....gone 94 Vogue se....gone |
